i'm no expert but 2d wrestling seems way better than 3d wrestling
that's not really fair though because Nichijou is better than most things in life
well that's cool

fuckin' called it, man
I saw a Waluigi sign and I figure it's Dan
I feel bad for the people who paid thousands of dollars to sit behind those signs.

having been to PPV shows before, I'm with Jeff- frankly they're way better on tv.
You're not allowed to have them in the air for more then a few seconds at a time.
Thank goodness for that. (Thanks!)
When I saw the shot from Dan's perspective, my first thought was "You paid how much for that view?" I can imagine what the cheap seats must look like.

Fuck you, Roman Reigns.
That was a really great Wrestlemania. Can't wait for Jeff to make it sound awful beginning to end on the Powerbombcast!
I feel sorry for Reigns, though. Dude is really talented and has a natural charisma. This wasn't his year and he's not quite ready, but it's not his fault WWE didn't let him get over organically. And tonight he visibly got the shit beat out of him in what should be a highlight of his life while people cheered to see him die.
For the uninitiated, the meta-narrative aspect of wrestling is typically way more fascinating than the story on paper.

I, for one, welcome the future of the WWE, penis and all.
New Zealand still crush you wankers in the only sport that matters. Rugby.
I'm still bitter about that underarm bowl.
Spoiler'd in case anyone wants to watch.
The match on paper is Brock Lesnar (champion) vs. Roman Reigns. Brock is known for not pulling his punches much, if at all. So even though it's not an actual competition, his opponents typically get the hell beaten out of them. Last year after their match The Undertaker was legitimately taken to the hospital in critical condition. So tonight Lesnar is just potatoing Reigns to hell and back and the crowd is eating it up. Reigns (on paper the good guy) is smothered in boos every time he musters offense, and subsequent cheers when he gets taken back down.
Fast forward twenty minutes and the match has basically been a one-sided beatdown. Reigns gets a few good hits in, and he and Lesnar are both down. Out comes Seth Rollins, a rival of Reigns in the storyline, with the Money in the Bank contract. That's a MacGuffin that gives the holder the right to a championship match at ANY TIME, so Seth is added to the match and quickly pins Reigns to walk away with the belt.
So Reigns gets the shit beat of him, deals a beating back, receives nothing but boos from 70,000 people, and a guy that wasn't even originally in the match walks away with the prize. These guys are all consummate professionals and it's more about the performance than the result, but all the same it has to be disheartening.

One of the highlights was watching Dan in the crowd reacting to everything.

I had to do a double take with that Reign sign, because for a split second, I thought it said 'Regis Will Rise'. And I was like, "Huh? I guess there are some hardcore Regis Philbin fans out there", but then I look at the sign again.

Eh, you can keep the rugby cups. 5 CRICKET WORLD CUPS OUT OF 11 MOTHERFUCKERS.
Don't even think the All Blacks have been that dominant in the rugby world cup.
